From bringing your youngest child in for an introductory visit to seeking restorative care for an elderly parent, our family dental practice is here to help. By offering a wide range of preventive, cosmetic, orthodontic, and restorative treatment services, as well as advanced periodontal care, every member of your family can receive the personalized care they need when they need it.
Our Attentive Approach
From your first visit to our dental practice, our staff strives to offer a positive experience by being friendly and attentive while answering any questions you have about scheduling, insurance, and out-of-pocket costs. Dr. Galayda and Dr. Shackleford take the time to understand your specific concerns. They perform thorough exams, obtain detailed images, and explain their findings clearly.
We encourage patients to ask questions about their smiles and oral health. This allows you to work with our dentists to create a treatment plan considering your dental needs, scheduling issues, and costs. We believe that taking the time to get to know our patients as unique individuals allows us to provide the right care for your smile.
“After not going to the dentist for over two years I was a bit nervous coming into see Dr. Shackleford. However, the staff were all very friendly and Dr. Shackleford made the visit painless even though I did have a cavity. I would highly recommend The Dental Clinic to anyone!”

Providing Affordable Care for Every Patient
Our dedication to personalized care goes beyond treatment planning for each unique smile. We know that navigating dental insurance coverage and third-party financing can be confusing. At our dental clinic, we believe that the costs should never prevent patients from receiving the care they deserve. In addition to accepting most major credit cards, our Lincoln Park practice also accepts CareCredit no-interest financing.
Our dentists also accept several insurance plans, including Guardian, Aetna, and Cigna, to name a few. Our insurance manager is happy to assist you in determining your coverage and can answer any questions you might have about your plan's benefits.
